Overview
The Mercedes-Benz GLE is a five-seat executive SUV for buyers who want a large Benz with petrol-hybrid power rather than a seven-seat brief. In Malaysia, the V167 facelift range starts from RM498,888 with the GLE400e AMG Line plug-in hybrid, with the GLE 450 4Matic AMG Line CKD sitting above it.
GLE in 2026 — what's new
In 2026, the Malaysian V167 facelift range runs as a two-variant line-up: GLE400e AMG Line and GLE 450 4Matic AMG Line CKD.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the GLE400e AMG Line at RM498,888. It is the cheaper car and gets plug-in hybrid running, which matters if home or office charging is part of the routine. The GLE 450 4Matic AMG Line CKD costs RM528,888. The RM30,000 gap buys the larger 2,999 cc petrol hybrid powertrain and 375 hp instead of the GLE400e’s 1,999 cc unit and 248 hp. Both are five-seaters with conventional automatic gearboxes.

Verdict
The GLE is priced at the upper end of the mainstream executive SUV fight: it costs more than the BMW X5 from RM469,800, Lexus RX from RM468,888 and Volkswagen Touareg from RM384,972, while the GLE400e sits just under the Lotus Eletre from RM499,000. Buy it for a big Mercedes-Benz SUV with a choice of plug-in hybrid or higher-output petrol hybrid power. It is not the cheaper way into this class.
